Track brakes

the hawk HT-10's are fantastic. can't really use it as a street pad unless you don't mind a lot of noise.

it is MUCH cheaper to run track pads at the track & street pads on the street. i used to do the one-pad fits all thing; i'd go through five front sets & three rear sets every year. now that i have dedicated track pads, i usually get 1-2 years out of the track pads & even longer on the street pads.

Wow! A set of front ST-43 pads last me more than a year... 6K miles/20 track days without swapping. My rears have lasted 3+ years... 15K miles/40 track days. I swap em when they are used up.

Different strokes for different folks.

admittedly, the track i go to the most is absolute hell on brakes. it has three 100mph straights in a row & there is no chance for cool down. also, once i upgraded to S brakes & added the GT3 ducts, things got a lot better.
